OKLAHOMA 7, IOWA ST 6 (SO) In what was the most exciting game of the season so far, the 6th-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club got their act together and finally showed some testicular fortitude and character with a thrilling, come-from-behind 7-6 shootout win over No. 4 Iowa State on Friday evening in Ames, Iowa.
The Sooners jumped out early with a goal from forward Owen Brewer (Kenai, AK) just 1:19 into the game. Iowa State tied the game at 1-1 with a power play goal but forward Doug Gebbie (Frisco, TX) tipped in a shot from the point at the 13:08 mark to give OU a 2-1 lead, which lead would hold up through the remainder of the period. In the second period, everything went Iowa State's way as the Cyclones scored four goals, offset only by an unassisted tally by defenseman Austin Miller (Dallas, TX). When Iowa State tied the game at 3-3, the Sooners seemingly lost their collective mind and took some utterly incredulous penalties, allowing ISU to take a 5-3 lead to the locker rooms after 40 minutes of action. Something just shy of the epiphany must have occurred during the second intermission as the Sooners charged out for the third period ready for action. Forward Wil Petty (Arlington, TX) scored at 6:25 to bring the Sooners to within one goal at 5-4. Forward Kyle Allan (Flagstaff, AZ) tied the game at 5-5 with a garbage goal at the 10:42 mark. The Cyclones took a 6-5 lead but with three minutes to play, Gebbie scored his second of the evening to tie the game at 6-6.
There was no scoring in overtime and in the ensuing shootout, all three Sooners shooters scored compared to only one for Iowa State, giving the Sooners a stunning 7-6 win over the No. 4 Cyclones. Sooners goaltender Chad Helgason (Woodbury, MN) stopped 38 of 44 ISU shots while the Cyclones' Erik Hudson stopped 17 of 24 shots. Oklahoma was 0 for 2 on the power play while ISU was 2 for 10 with the man advantage. Oklahoma improves to 21-6-2 with the gritty win while Iowa State loses for only the third time at home this season and has a record of 28-5-2. Oklahoma stays in Ames to face No. 4 Iowa State again on Saturday night.

IOWA ST 4, OKLAHOMA 2 The second period proved detrimental to the 6th-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club once again as No. 4 Iowa State took the lead and never looked back in a 4-2 win over the Sooners on Saturday evening in Ames, Iowa.
The Sooners took a 1-0 lead when forward Kyle Allan (Flagstaff, AZ) scored on the power play at 12:49 of the first period. Iowa State tied the game with a power play goal forty seconds from the end of the first period to snatch the momentum from the Sooners. The Cyclones maintained that momentum in the middle stanza as they took the lead just over a minute into the period and added a power play goal to take a dominating 3-1 lead over OU. The Sooners regained the momentum in the third and mounted a rally, scoring when forward Justin King (DeWitt, MI) jammed home a cross-ice pass at the 16:16 period. Iowa State added an empty netter before the end of the game to make the final score 4-2.
Sooners goaltender Chad Helgason (Woodbury, MN) stopped 24 of 27 ISU shots while the Cyclones' Erik Hudson stopped 30 of 32 shots.
